Dutch Uncles - Oh Yeah

The Silent Enemy

Producer | April 2016 | Grain Media

Hard-hitting anti-snare online promo for charity League Against Cruel Sports.

Received 100k Views on FB and Youtube in first week online.

Snares are small wire ligatures that are usually hidden in hedgerows and forests in order to trap wild animals. These ‘land-mines of the countryside’ are legally killing an estimated 1.7 million animals a year. Snares are indiscriminate and trap both wild and domestic animals in the most horrendous circumstances.

Peter Egan, BAFTA award winning actor, animal lover and League Vice President provided the voice over and actor Shaun McKee plays the role of a jogger who heads off into the woods for a run. The film was produced by Grain Media and Jungle Studios worked on the sound. The film was directed by Paul Murphy, who previously directed the League's 'What If It Was You?' film.

Born To: Free Ride

The third instalment of the Born To series presented by Amuse & Tag Heuer. We traveled to the Slovenian Alps with mountain biker Primoz Ravnik.

After a death-defying stunt back in September that turned Primoz into a YouTube sensation, we headed to the mountains to find out why he’s driven to these awe inspiring lengths.

Free riding is a new extreme sport with many risks that requires technique, stamina and fearlessness. Primoz is one of the first people to take a bike up to the slopes. In this film Primoz pushes TAG Heuer's Formula 1 Sports watch to its limits as he free cycles down mountain faces.

We Are Fire

Short doc about the all-female vigilante Gulabi Gang made for Al Jazeera’s 1st TVC and ad campaign.

I helped on pre-production and on location production in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Chosen as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

When Champa Pal's husband was murdered her life fell apart however an encounter with the vigilante Gulabi Gang changed everything.

The 'Gulabi Gang' is an extraordinary women’s movement formed in 2006 by Sampat Pal in Uttar Pradesh in Northern India to bring justice for women. This region is one of the poorest districts in the country and is marked by a deeply patriarchal culture. The group is popularly known as the Gulabi, or Pink Gang, because the members wear bright pink saris and wield bamboo sticks.
